A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Promises to Keep (PTK) is a queer, furry, safe-for-work (16+) visual novel. Please be warned that while entirely safe-for-work, PTK does feature themes of religious & familial trauma, injury, mental illness, minor body horror, and homophobia. Some scenes may not be suitable for individuals with epilepsy (but there are in-game warnings for these scenes). v0.7 is now available (Rofi Day 4, Day 3 for everyone else). This version has around 10 hours of content, featuring an original soundtrack of 20+ songs, 50+ beautifully drawn backgrounds and fully-illustrated CGs, and 100+ unique character sprites.  Find us on Twitter and support us on Patreon for early game updates, exclusive content, art raffles, and if you’d like to be featured in PTK as a cameo!

A promise is the greatest, most significant thing anyone can make, in a reality where nothing is permanent. They are guarantees we make to one another, knowing that guarantees are fruitless; their existence contradicts the fleeting, temporary nature of our universe. Yet, they live on in the face of this futility.

So, what happens when the promises you make to yourself go cold? When your promises to others are left empty?

PTK follows the journey of a post-college snow leopard after returning to his childhood home. After a year of wishful thinking, living in the footsteps of his past and the childhood promises he has yet to fulfill, he's convinced there's nothing more for him here. Then, disaster strikes.

Join him in a story of deep self-discovery, reunion, and light-hearted romance as he grows with a vibrant group of individuals brought together by unlikely circumstances.

** Please note that all content is subject to change as the game undergoes further development, and that the current version may not fully represent the final game. **

Thank you. I'm glad to have found such a high-quality, sfw story.

(+4)

PEAK have been updated again

(+5)(-1)

who played this novel, please tell me about how many percent of the game is completed?

(+3)

There's nothing set in stone so far, no definite percentage. I can say that this novel has a very good chance at being lengthy though, so if you're worried about it running out of content any time soon, rest assured, there is much more to come.

If you expect it to finish soon though, bad news there, there's gonna be a lot, so, I'll tell you that it's gonna take a long time

(3 edits) (+3)(-1)

someone NEEDS to write a fic of  Leo hugging Rofi at the end of day 4. PLEASE IM DESPRATE

(+3)(-1)

I will genuinely  explode if someone does 

(+3)

Only played the Hunter route so far but holy shit this is good hell it's alr made me cry over him and his past!

(+3)

This is the first visual novel I have ever tried, and I've been LOVING it! So emotive, so beautifully designed, such absorbing characters - I can't wait for more of this to be developed!!

(+4)

i wonder how hard it would be to make a mod loader for this. Ima attempt to try to do it, from my research its possible to make a mod loader. wish me luck

(+4)

Letsss FRICKIN GO

(1 edit) (+3)

yea ive found many renpy mod loaders sooooo, either i find out how they do it or i make a launcher and have ways to add stuff using those renpy loaders since PTKVN is a renpy is technically has a ton of mod loaders but i could just add ways to make custom day or any of that (i found out there were other ways to mod PTKVN about 50% through and i made me crazy mad since i could have just make a launcher that allows custom days and all that)

(+2)

what i could do is make a custom day by day thing so a modder an do the name setup and than make a custom day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc, wouldn't be too hard, it would be like using the renpy tool its self and i could make a custom python library that allows the user to make a day and then build into a scripts.rpa and use the original GUI file but make a mods button to list mods but idk about switching live, im not THAT great yet but i already have a cli based launcher ready with downloading and making custom instances (idk why the saves are accross the ENTIRE machine but ill find a way to change that)

(+3)

I played through the game, got through Theo, Rofi, and Hunter's routes, i really like this game. the dream sequences are some amazing storytelling and stuff, and i just cant wait to see where this project is going. Probably gonna do Artemis and Ollie's routes when the game is updated. Rofi was my fav, and judging by everyone else's comments they agree it was great. Hunter was a close second tho. Love this! <3

(+3)

New reader here and just went through Rofi's route (bad idea, I know) and all I can say is that: it's phenomenal. The plot is good to say the least but what really sold me is the storytelling. The use of certain words are very great, or diction as I would like to say. It successfully portrays how light, heavy and empty a situation is and this is especially true during Leo's dreams; The tree one really freaked me out. I would like to add also, the characters are written in a way that makes me relate to them — like every one of them. The way they act and think hits a bit too close to home sometimes, I'll tell you that. It's poetic and serious, light-hearted and heavy all at the same time and it's perfect. 

(+4)

deffinately didn't make me start SOBBING at the end. dude I just want to give my traumatized baby a hug :sob:

(+3)

i'm gunna try the ollie route now cuz from what i've seen hes so me coded tbh

yep definatly not....

(+5)

made me sad and basically cry. 10/10

(+4)

God please tell me there is going to be more!!! I just done Rofi's route and I want more! Please do more on Rofi's route, something happier but with moments with trauma I don't know, but to be honest I want Leo and Rofi to be "together" if you know what I mean like partners or something, but not like trauma that would break your heart when you see it! Though 10/10!! I had a hard time on what choice to be picking what the choices of when Rofi asked about love I had to really think about it but then I ended up on Loyalty... SUCH! A! GOOD! GAME!

(+4)

And we better get our bed permissions back, I want the bed permissions back with Rofi...

(+4)

And is this going to be 18+ and NSFW any time soon or not yet?Though if it is that's great, if not it will be okay.

(+1)

I'll tell you that the novel is gonna be completely SFW, there are no plans to make it NSFW now, or in the future. Promises To Keep will be a nice novel, there's much more to come, do stick around!

(+4)

the art is so adorable, i get happy every time i get a notif about a new update :) I don't quite understand Theo's backstory though. Maybe it's because I usually read VN's at night

(+5)(-1)

I love the VN, it have a potentional tbh, but it looks like the dev is rushing things to make the reader realize all of the character is not okay,like all the character have a cheerful and calm personality, but when we already choose the route they immediately change personality, even tho the MC just dreamed about them and the character we pick still haven't told their problems,it just they lost the personality they had when we first met them,take hunter for example. he's just like rofi when we first met him ,but after we pick his route, his rofi's like personality just gone. I just hope I can see the cheerful version of themselves more

(+6)

this was a super fun game. the pov character we play as is way to similair in behavior to me which was unsettling slightly. anyways, (*spoilers for people reading to this point of the comment*) 


the dream we had about Rofi was unsettling to say the least. felt like a horror game for a moment. was kinda thinking if i should pause palying right now because i was playing in the middle of the night.

(+6)

I really loved the new update. Phenominal stuff, and I love the new depth given to Rofi's character. I can't wait for more of such character development to be added to our other dear beans :3

(1 edit) (+6)

**slight spoilers maybe?**


within like 3 days of downloading? i "finished" all of their "routes" and each one was really good... i honestly liked artie's the most even though my friend said he hated artie as a character? hunter's route was nice, but it felt rather short for me.. ollie's route is somewhat existential? the amount of choices is great for his route. the one that that tripped me up for every route was the dream prior to the den's destruction... but overall everything was great; great story, great characters, great art and soundtrack, everything was perfect

(+7)

why did I cry three times over an orange dog and the power of friendship

(+8)

"Theo's door will always be open" was like a gut-punch oh my god

(+8)

i cant wait a game update😭

(+8)

I really love all the soundtracks so far, they did a very good job building the atmosphere for the story. Could I by any chance listen to them on any apps or find them anywhere?

(+4)

cg's got updated but leo still has a doorbell that works without power. also Theo still goes out without winter coat

(+4)

i got a little confused bc of the picture of rofi and hunter together, and the part where it said ''Do you really think his love was worth anything near theirs'', is he talking about us or hunter?

(+21)

Made some phone and PC wallpapers of Hunter bc i love him and as appriciation for this gem yall made, keep doing awsome stuff guys, we love you

(+6)

omg cute!!!!!

(1 edit) (+4)

I'm gonna finish this review later, on day like 1??, and my reaction is "🤔😯, Oh my GOD OLLIE, Ollieeeeee~ 🤩"

(+6)

i seriously need the person to marry rofi at the end of his route

We shall parish if thy person doth marry the dog

(+5)

Absolutely peak VN. The talk with Ollie on day 3 completely shook me... and Hunter is hot.

(+1)

Confused me for a minute lol 😂 In UK slang peak means bad

(1 edit) (+7)

Honestly amazing game you guys are creating. I laughed, I got anxious, I cried and more; I love stories like this. Books, visual novels, comics and more that have such beautifully crafted stories with passion behind them.

I can see why others are mad the MC doesn't hug Rofi, but from my understanding the MC seems to be a very social lacking character and it would make sense why they don't hug Rofi because to me it reminded me of well - me. Someone who isn't good at helping others emotionally or understanding what is good or right in such emotional moments. 

(+6)

Dude, you have no idea how much it pissed me off when MC didn’t hug Rofi. Amazing update but fucking OUCH…

(+7)

Spoilers:


||mc was also in question whether or not he should hug him cuz with the years of separation he knows and he doesn't know him at the same time||

(+6)

Yeah I get it but Rofi has made it exceedingly obvious that he wants affection from MC. Also I guess I just like cuddling Rofi…

(+9)

I want to help Rofi get out of sadness soon. It made me heartbroken.😭

(+4)

i wonder whos day 4 is next

(+9)

this broke my heart so bad, thank you for this amazing update.

(+13)

IM NOW CRYING  i need rofi as  my husband

(+5)

we all do

(+8)

This 0.7 shit is the bomb yo, like chili p stuff level of bomb.

(+15)(-2)

Honestly I just want more Rofi. Great novel

(+5)

wew, I like the sound track, devs can you like make a different download file just for the soundtracks I like it, it feels calming

(+9)

Why is it so good? It's so peak? Rofi is even more like me than I thought??? I need more. crave more. also soundtrack release when??

(+3)
